 Serialized objects are tricky to exploit out of PHP, so we often need to
 convert datas for other languages (mostly JavaScript).

 Using json encoding for `wp_options` and `site_options` would be a good
 investment for further usages.

 The fist step would be to replace old serialized object and convert them
 to json or changing `maybe_serialized()` to detect the current encoding of
 a string.
